Detailed explanation-1: -Cache memory, which also is a type of random access memory, does not need to be refreshed. It is built directly into the CPU to give the processor the fastest possible access to memory locations and provides nanosecond speed access time to frequently referenced instructions and data.
Detailed explanation-2: -The registers form a part of a computer device’s CPU. It stores data in a processed form. It stores data in an unprocessed form. The CPU of a system can access the cache memory much faster than that of the register memory.
Detailed explanation-3: -In the case of a CPU cache, it is faster because it’s on the same die as the processor. In other words, the requested data doesn’t have to be bussed over to the processor; it’s already there.
